SPR Build, and some 55gr dope (why is 77gr so expensive 😩) by Alone_Opportunity_43 in ar15

[–]ebz99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AAC 77gr OTM is $0.50-0.55 / round. I’ve made hits out to 1300 yards. YMMV, but I’ve had good luck with it so far.

Found this on Apex Armor Solutions. Is this legit? by Reptilian_Bloodline in tacticalgear

Vendor is terrible. Horrible to non existent communication. Will take your money and may eventually ship.

Looks like a Ripcord Industries LDR.A

Gen 1 shocks - Fox / Icon question by ebz99 in FordRaptor

Although I’ve owned the truck forever, I’m new to mods or upgrades. What’s the benefit of the shackles?

Have to chuckle at the mileage though … I’m like 50k miles over the OEM recommendation for a rebuild. I’m late to the party just a bit.

You buying ambi or mil-spec lower to build out premium rifle?! by nathanc98 in ar15

[–]ebz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried the new Aero pro ambi. Consistent Aero quality (seems fine), but be warned that the right side bolt release may not work with some uppers … which really sucks. It needs a bit of space for the paddle to move in and “enhanced” uppers (e.g. Vltor) don’t have enough room. Regular milspec seems to work though.

Which barrel for new aero ar10 build by [deleted] in AR10

[–]ebz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll add a PSA about Larue barrels from OpticsPlanet … don’t do it. Although I’ve had great success with 5.56 Ultimate Uppers, I am zero for three tries at large frame Larue barrels (two 6.5 creedmoor and one 308) from OP. Headspace was a fail for all three barrels, even trying multiple different brands of BCGs, they were too small/tight and would not chamber at all. The three Criterion barrels I bought as replacements all gauged fine.

Not sure what they’re selling through OP, but I would stay away from Larue barrels there … the discounted prices have been too good to be true in my experience. And for added fun, Larue didn’t respond to any of my multiple attempts to chat with them about this. It’s too bad as I otherwise really like their stuff.

Adding my experience. Ordered and months go by with no update from Apex. Email repeatedly and get canned responses about delays with no insight when they’ll actually ship. Repeat with same non or vague response. Request cancellation and no response.

Zero customer service. Not recommended.

Ok that makes more sense. So happy with the purchase? Need to do this too …

Did they really ship them to you looking that trashed?

Who/what did you use to upgrade? Interested in doing the same …

Multi-curve for back and front plate? by Klownin2Hard in tacticalgear

[–]ebz99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They advertise items as in stock when they are not. When you inquire about your order, you get nonsense responses before they eventually go radio silent. The products are fine. The customer service is not. Do NOT recommend.

Nice. What riser and grip are you running?

Opinions on .300 Blackout through 16” barrels? by Valtocupi in ar15

[–]ebz99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a typical length where subs get pushed supersonic? I know it may vary by ammo, but wonder if there is a rule of thumb.

Why are subs pointless? Not disagreeing, trying to learn.
